Vintage Perona 17 Jewels Incabloc watch

Vintage Perona 17 Jewels Incabloc watch, a mid-20th-century Swiss mechanical watch typically dating from the 1950s or 1960s.

Brand: Perona, a lesser-known Swiss brand from the mid-century era that produced affordable yet reliable mechanical watches.

Movement: It features a 17-jewel Swiss manual-wind mechanical movement. The “17 jewels” refers to the synthetic rubies used as bearings to reduce friction in the gear train, which was a standard for quality watches of that time.

Incabloc: The “Incabloc” branding indicates the watch uses a specific Swiss shock-protection system for the balance wheel, a common feature in durable watches from this period.

Design: The watch has a classic “dress watch” aesthetic with a gold-tone or gold-plated case, a champagne/silvered sunburst dial, and Arabic numerals at 3, 6, and 9.
